Thread: Unity launcher text popup bug/bad rendering


hello,

installed ubuntu 12.04 64-bit yesterday. sadly, noticed when hover mouse on launcher icons , down, along launcher, text popup arrow displaying name of icon's program badly rendered, looking shadow or broken popup. it's not matter of speed, if leave cursor on icon, text popup remains glitchy.

have looks bad, unpolished, , hope there's way have fixed. know it's cosmetic bug, it's disappointing , glitchy, not mention rhythmbox hiding bottom end of song's title because font size big, that's story.

pc powered amd phenom quad-core cpu , ati card. i've installed proprietary ati drivers, it's not made difference.

ironically, if take screenshot of broken onmouseover text popup, first gets rendered correctly, takes shot.


[edit] i've seen removing icons launcher doesn't have pile/expand them helps, since text popup displayed correctly. think has icon tiles animation

i wonder if seeing related thread start. seems type of news plugin has invaded unity pulldown menus rendering them , whatever application overlay virtually useless.
